The King's Love 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZNP3guXbY
The next morning, Camila and Lily ate and talked in Lily's chambers. They had a lot to talk about. Lily had found the person that she said was the one. He was a duke and owned a lot of land. He had been married three times and all of his wives died in mysterious ways. His first wife died giving birth, his second wife died in a carriage accident, and his third wife died from food poisoning in the winter. Camila thought this suspicious, but Lily thought it not. And Camila didn't want to be the cause of Lily's unhappiness, so Camila didn't say anything. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHaY9k8YLB
Camila wanted to tell someone about her fortune with the king but didn't. If anyone found out about the king and Camila, she would get the hatred from the queen. Later, Camila sent a message to the king accepting his request. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8wInpYuLM
In the afternoon Camila met the king in the stables. The king and the rest of the hunting party were settling their horses. Until that moment, Camila had forgotten that Elizabeth and Antonius were going to join the king. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHSnMam7Mv
The reason of Elizabeth's arrival was simple. Antonius would go with his father on all of his hunting trips. Because Elizabeth was going to be his wife and go along one day, he thought it would be nice to invite her along. "What are you doing here, Camila?" asked Elizabeth in a surprised tone. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT43oGEmeAU
"I wanted to know what is was like to be apart of a hunting party, so I asked the king if I could come along and he agreed." said Camila. Inside she felt bad for lying to her. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXyYYxsJUu
"Ok, but be careful around the king. He has a bad reputation." Elizabeth whispered and Camila nodded. While the men saddled the horses and got the hounds ready, Elizabeth and Camila stayed in the back and watched. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC8BTNCD1k
"Wasn't the queen suppose to be here?" said Camila. The queen usually rides next to the king in such occasions, but she wasn't this time. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAafROXYqS
"The queen doesn't like things like this. She and her husband really don't get along." said Elizabeth. This information rose Camila's hopes of getting closer to the king. She could think of it now what it would be like by the king's side. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMle0tWAjw
During the hunting party, the king would whisper in Camila's ear about events that were going to occur in the castle. He said that he would be pleased to take her to them and she was too. At the end of the hunting party, the king whisked Camila away from the crowd. "I have a surprise for you." he said. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64AtAz7Lig
The king took Camila behind the castle where there was a picnic set up for them. It was very lovely to Camila. She sat with the king and enjoyed some wine and turkey. They talked for hours about plays, Shakespeare, and other poets. But all good things must come to an end, it was sunset and Camila had to go inside to meet Elizabeth and Lilly for dinner. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ063njCgHn
Camila found Lily and Elizabeth in the hallway that led to the dinning room. "Where have you been?" asked Lily impatiently. Camila tried to find an excuse, but couldn't.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3H3qqWL6u
"It doesn't matter. Lets go eat." said Elizabeth. The three entered the dinning room and took their seats. Lilly and Camila sat together. The King sat at the end of the table with the queen to his right and his first born to his left. Next to Antonius sat Elizabeth. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZBcKHyNMP
After dinner, Camila left the dinning room to find Lord Reynold. Camila was bored and thought Lord Reynold would have something fun to do. When Camila was about to give up hope, she found him in one of the sitting rooms reading Shakespeare. When he saw her approaching, he put the book down and smiled. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTA7iQ4AJu
"You are a fan of Shakespeare?" asked Camila. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZmNLato7h
"Yes. When things get boring, I like to sit and read Shakespeare." said Lord Reynold. The rest of the time Camila and Lord Reynold talked about life in their villages and books they read. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0jUw7kv6s
"Lord Reynold, you are a very interesting person. How come you haven't married or courted someone?" asked Camila before she could stop herself.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDShzFGxSk
"I don't like following the rules that society puts on us. Everyone expects me to marry and have children, I prefer to do what I want." 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU3SCIEFaj
What Lord Reynold told Camila pondered in her mind for sometime. It made her think about the king and what she should do. Society expects her to marry a noble or a peasant, have children, and bring her family honor and wealth. However, Camila wanted to stay with the king and be his mistress. "How can I stay with the king? He already has a mistress." thought Camila. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6LWMOugeu
Then came a knocking on her door. Who could it be at midnight?798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRn7OxsPDy
